1998 CITROEN SAXO1.5L DIESEL

The most critical factor to consider is that the MOT history ends in July 2016, meaning this vehicle has not been tested for nearly ten years as of June 2026. The recorded mileage has remained static at 133,658 miles since that date, indicating the car has likely been in long-term storage or off the road rather than in regular use. The most recent MOT entries from July 2016 reveal serious structural and mechanical defects. The vehicle initially failed the test due to excessively corroded front suspension component mountings on both the nearside and offside, along with a major exhaust leak. Even when it passed the retest ten days later, the braking system was flagged with advisories stating it only just met requirements, suggesting very marginal performance. There is a clear and worsening pattern regarding the braking system. In 2015, the car failed a test with severe rear brake defects, including an offside rear brake recording little or no effort. By 2016, while the immediate failure was resolved, the braking system remained unstable and was noted as requiring adjustment or repair. The trend is clearly deteriorating, moving from a clean test in 2014 to structural corrosion and persistent brake issues by 2016. Although the calculated annual mileage was low at roughly 4,774 miles up to 2016, the subsequent decade of inactivity poses a greater risk than the mileage itself.
